Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Just a little bit of time goes back and moves to the deprexer side of the crestling.

Deprexa was in front of the communications system, looking at the clock and counting 30 minutes now or now. Although Waltz contacted me, I was unable to take the call, so after consulting with the deacon Sebastian (?), I was talking about communicating again in half an hour.

"17 min 1 sec, 17 min 2 sec, 17 min 3 sec..."

"... Dear Deprexa, Aren't you tired of telling me?

"What are you saying, Sebastian? This body of mine is a machine, right? Aren't you tired?"

"... excuse me for this"

Hasn't my Lord changed after all? That's also in a bad direction...... Sebastian was deeply perplexed when he saw the unusual state of Deprexa.

It just wasn't like that once there was anything like this at all. That son of the homunculus she made —— that is, around that day before the birth of the Endels boy who hits his grandson -- was disturbed as if he were a normal human being. Because of what happened, Sebastian is not worried about Deprexa's behavior... In the end, he seems to have decided to keep an eye on the Lord, shrugging quietly in his heart.

As Deprexa remembered something when he was thinking about it--,

"But if you think about it, is this okay?

—— and say that.

"Wait half an hour?

"After 30 minutes of just contact, Waltz is also a machine (Guardian), so I thought our intentions might be revealed."

"Exactly that far..."

"... I'm a machine. Like people, I really don't like to be contacted at the right time. Waltz, who knows about it —— if she's the same Guardian, she's bound to have the same problem and realize that she's been in touch with me in Just time."

◇

"Hmmm...... about 2mm less than the design...... Well, no. Appropriate and" jijijijijiji......

◇

"That should be accurate for the numbers... because that one is certainly a machine too"

"... I've made up my mind. When it's around 23 minutes, I'm going to contact you"

"23 minutes? Half an hour, huh?

"Yeah, it's half good. Sebastian, if it's possible to get caught up in a good number, I think we should get in touch from the beginning, in the middle of a difficult time to get caught up in."

"... if that's what Mr. Deprexa says."

Sebastian didn't think it was impossible to talk about Deprexa because he was a machine himself. As a result, he agrees to contact you 23 minutes after the call from Waltz.

… If this had been contacted in 19 minutes, perhaps Energia would not have been shot by Crestling. The problem arose 20 minutes after Waltz contacted me.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

A warning sounds in the central control room where the deprexers were. Of course, it doesn't mean we've been contacted by the energy side. Alternatively, energy approaching from outside the radar's irradiation range was detected as an unidentified flying object.

"Carmen ring?!

"... you made a move"

Aerial fortress Carmen ring of the same type as Crestling, the castle of Deprexa. No, a crestling system detected and sounded an alarm that the enormous structure that had been occupied by the Altiles had moved across the continent.

The Deprexas didn't know why Carmen Ring moved. But I'd say that's something we can't help but say. At any rate, the Deprexers did not see the energy on the other side of the mountain range just around the corner.... On the contrary, I could see the whole thing from Carmen Ring.

There was one more thing unfortunate. The positional relationship between the crest ring and the energy and the carmen ring was perfectly straight-line.

"Main engine output max. Cyclotron Preparation"

"Do you shoot? But the distance is too far away to release in the atmosphere to reach beyond..."

"It's good. I'm warning you to stay away. Shoot with the meaning of shooting."

"... Yes, I did. We will begin preparing the main cannon."

Shortly after Sebastian said so, the high-powered sound of the booster echoes through the Crestling facility. That's a preliminary action to shoot the heavy particle beam, the main cannon of the crestling. It was the sound of preparation for using a charged particle cannon that uses the enormous amount of power and magic stored in the capacitors and artificial demon stones in the facility, accelerating electrons and heavy particles as much as possible, and joining and launching them right in front of the gun gate.

"… orbital correction complete. Ready."

"Great. Okay, first shot, firing"

Copy that. We're firing.

That's what I said, Sebastian, tapping the console in the central control room and trying to launch the main gun. And that moment when his finger pressed the firing button of the main artillery--,

Beep!

—— something, sounds like a warning sound just ringing for a moment --,

Guiyin!!

—— the heavy particle beam is unleashed --,

""... ah ""

Dogowong!!

—— It hit the enormous shadow, the energy, that emerged from the shadows of the mountains. It was no longer the only result I could say was bad luck.
